DNA plays a complex role in personality and life outcomes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Who we are and who we become may be in our genes, at least partially. A new study links a variety of gene variants to various personality traits and lifestyles. These findings displayed patterns across large demographics, though experiences and surroundings still play a pivotal role in individual development. Over 1,000 gene variants are associated with personality, including more than 800 not previously linked to it, according to a study published in the journal Nature. These genetic variants a
Air traffic control is coming to the moon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Space travel is taking off, but landing on the moon will be no easy feat. The first-ever spaceport could join the moon’s orbit in the next 20 years, increasing space traffic. As a result, plans need to be made to deal with the logistics of several celestial vehicles taxiing and docking at the port and eventually at a permanent moon settlement. NASA during the next two decades is preparing to implement its Gateway, a small space station designed to be a “multipurpose outpost supporting lunar surf
Fog has bacteria that eat air pollution (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While fog can create an eerie, lonely atmosphere, it’s teeming with life. Scientists have found vibrant microbial communities in low-hanging clouds, including bacteria that can detoxify air pollution. And these microbes could play a larger role in our air quality than previously expected. Fog water can have “bacterial concentrations similar to those in continental or marine bodies of water” and “contain microbiomes well-differentiated in composition from those in the dry aerosol microbiomes,” sa
Space companies are ‘starwashing’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everyone wants to go to space, but at what cost? Companies that have been hoping to colonize the cosmos are not addressing the potential environmental and atmospheric impacts of that expansion. This phenomenon is known as starwashing, and it is likely only going to become more common. Starwashing, a spin on greenwashing, is when space companies “sell space exploration narratives by appealing to a desire to expand humankind beyond Earth” while “downplaying or omitting the negative repercussions f
Paraborgs: the cyborg cockroaches coming to the rescue (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The newest search and rescue recruits are cockroaches. Scientists have outfitted the insects with capabilities to locate and administer medical care to people in remote or hard-to-reach locations. Different kinds of insects could be used for varied purposes and could be a valuable asset for disaster relief in the future. Paramedic cyborg cockroaches called Paraborgs can be “field-deployable medical intervention,” said a study published in the journal Advanced Science. The robotic roaches “contai
